AI Gluten Checker v1.4.0: Scan Barcodes for Gluten Instantly

AI Gluten Checker v1.4.0 is here — and your phone can now scan barcodes to detect gluten in seconds.

Living with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity means every trip to the grocery store is a research session. You flip packages, squint at ingredient lists, and still walk away unsure. That's the problem we've been obsessed with solving since we launched AI Gluten Checker. Today, with version 1.4.0, we're taking the biggest leap yet — bringing your camera into the equation.

📸 Barcode Scanner: Just Point and Know

The headline feature of v1.4.0 is automatic barcode detection. Open the scanner, point your camera at any product barcode, and the app does the rest — no button tap required.

Here's what happens behind the scenes in under a second: the camera detects the barcode automatically, the app queries the OpenFoodFacts global database (millions of products worldwide) to retrieve the full ingredient list, then sends those ingredients to our AI engine for a thorough gluten analysis.

For someone with celiac disease, this changes everything. No more typing product names. No more photographing labels and hoping the AI can read them. Just point, and know.

🔄 Auto Scan Toggle: Stay in Control

Sometimes you're browsing, not scanning. The new Auto Scan Toggle lets you switch barcode detection on or off with a single tap. When auto-scan is enabled, descriptive hint text guides you so you always know what the camera is looking for. Disable it when you want a moment to pause — the app waits for you.

📤 Share Your Results: Beautiful, Branded Cards

Finding a safe product feels like a win — and now you can share that win. v1.4.0 introduces Share Results, which generates a gorgeous branded card showing the product name, gluten status, and key AI findings.

These cards are designed to look great on Instagram, WhatsApp, Twitter/X, and anywhere else you share. Whether you're a food blogger, a parent managing a child's celiac diet, or just part of the gluten-free community, you can now help others discover safe products with one tap.

📚 Redesigned History: Everything, Organized

Your scan history has been completely rebuilt. Results are now grouped by:

• Today
• Yesterday
• This Week
• Earlier

A new stats strip at the top gives you an at-a-glance view of your scanning activity — how many products you've checked, how many were safe. Cards are more refined, search is faster, and the whole experience feels cleaner.

For users who scan frequently, this redesign makes it genuinely useful to look back at your history rather than just a long scrolling list.

👋 Updated Onboarding: Get Started the Right Way

New users now get a dedicated barcode scanning page in the onboarding walkthrough. From the very first launch, you'll understand how the camera scanner works, what the Auto Scan Toggle does, and how to use the app to its full potential — before you even scan your first product.
